While we’ve driven nearly all modern Ferraris, we haven’t covered the marque since the introduction of the 458 and that’s for a couple of reasons we’ll get into another time. The successor to the four seat, all-wheel drive Ferrari FF is so utterly desirable that we had to test it.

Rent this Ferrari GTC4Lusso – and other amazing cars – from our friends at Loue La Vie in Montreal.

Like many of us, I first “drove” the Nissan Pulsar GTI-R in the virtual world of Gran Turismo. A couple of decades later, with thanks to our friends at Alta Nissan in Woodbridge, Ontario, I have the chance to drive it in the real world. The question now is, does it satisfy my expectations from Gran Turismo?

We step back in time, back to the early days of McLaren volume supercar production. The MP4-12C was innovative for its time and perhaps more importantly, it’s the predecessor of the 650S, 675LT, P1, 540C, 570S, 570GT, and the new 720S. How does it stand up five years later? We take it for a test to find out.

We get our hands on the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and give it a few runs on Lucas Oil Raceway in Indiana. Plus, to see if it’s got the on-road chops, we take it for a drive on some open Midwestern roads.
